  The comparator diaphragm of the regulator unit captures the actual value of 
the outlet pressure and compares it with the reference variable specified by 
the pilot spring. 
  A regulation deviation directly influences the closing member posi-
tion via the valve spindle. The flow rate change this causes results in 
an adjustment of the outlet pressure actual value so that it matches 
the setpoint. When there is zero pressure flow, the device seals 
tightly. 
  If the actual value of the outlet pressure in the regulating line exceeds or falls 
below a certain response pressure, the closing member of the safety shut-off 
valve located on the input side shuts off the flow of gas. 
  The SAV measuring diaphragm with the switching sleeve moves into 
the corresponding disengaged position, the ball engagement 
mechanism enables the SAV valve spindle and the control element 
of the safety shut-off closes. 
  The SAV can only be engaged in the open position manually when the outlet 
pressure at the sensing point is at least within the specified re-engage differ-
ential range for overpressure or underpressure relative to the response pres-
sure setpoint. 
  The SAV can also be equipped with a manual or a remote release feature, as 
desired. It is also possible for it to be executed in functional class A (with dia-
phragm rupture protection) or B (without diaphragm rupture protection).
